Sandra Vergara often feels pressure to live up to the Vergara name, but she's grateful for her biological cousin and adopted sister, Sofia Vergara.

"Yes, because it's like, in a sense, immediately you're gonna be compared just for the fact that you have the same last name. That happens to everyone who's related to somebody that's huge. That's just how it goes. But, at the same time, no, because I'm completely different, and right now I'm doing something completely different," she said.

"But like she brought me here years ago, right? Like I'm here. I came to L.A. [and] I moved in with her. She supported me for a long time. So I have a lot of respect for her and for what she's done. So it's not bad, the comparison," she said before adding that she will be seen in her "own light."

Sandra joined Netflix's "Selling Sunset" for season nine. She didn't mention to Sofia that she was joining "Selling Sunset" -- but she did tell her son, Manolo, since they're "very close" in age.

Manolo is 34 and Sandra is 37.

"I told Manolo about 'Selling Sunset,' and he's like, 'Boo-Boo, you gotta do it. I love it. I've seen it all.' So I'm like, 'okay, done.' So I only asked Manolo and I did it. And then after I did it, I told everybody and everybody's very happy and supportive," Vergara said.
